Suffolk Wildlife Photo Competition

Suffolk Wildlife Trust is inviting people to "get snapping" for its annual photography competition, celebrating East Anglia's and Britain's amazing wildlife and landscapes. Young photographers, for the first time, are being offered free entry to the competition.

"If you enjoy taking photos of wildlife or the countryside and would like to have a go at entering your first competition then get out there and get snapping!" said education officer Cathy Smith.

"You stand a good chance of having your photo displayed alongside some of the best amateur photographers in the region - you could even win a prize. We aim to make this a showcase for talented amateur photographers who best capture the beauty and significance of our wildlife and landscapes, and to bring their work to a wide audience in a superb natural setting at Redgrave and Lopham Fen - itself a favourite subject for the lens."

Last year's junior winner was Patrick Norman from Carlton near Saxmundham with his photo of a grey squirrel, while Ryan Edwards from Badingham - one of last year's highly commended junior entrants - has continued to pursue his passion for wildlife photography and recently appeared on BBC's Springwatch filming barn owl.

The closing date is 18th July 2008 and entries are invited in the following categories:

• - Best East Anglian Bird
• - Best East Anglian Mammal, Amphibian or Reptile
• - Best East Anglian Invertebrate
• - Best East Anglian Plant or Fungi
• - Best East Anglian Landscape
• - Best Young Photographer(16 yrs & under)

All winning photos and the best of the rest will be on public display at the competition exhibition at Redgrave and Lopham Fen reserve centre (near Diss), 23-25 & 30-31 August and 6-7 September (10am-5pm).

All entrants are warmly invited to attend the exhibition preview night at Redgrave and Lopham Fen on Friday 22 August. There will be prizes for the strongest images and the overall winning photo will be published in Suffolk Wildlife magazine.

Counting sheep, a good yarn

An old shepherd named Albert was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture in the countryside when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of the drizzle towards him.

The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, RayBan sunglasses and YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the shepherd, 'If I tell you exactly how many sheep you have in your flock, Will you give me a lamb?'

Albert looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing flock and calmly answers, 'Ok, Why not?'

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell notebook computer,connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3 cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg , Germany .

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses a MS-SQL database through an ODBC connected Excel spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet printer and finally turns to the shepherd and says, 'You have exactly 1,586 sheep and lambs.'

'That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my lambs,' says Albert.

He watches the young man select one of the animals & looks on amused as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Albert says to the young man, 'Hey, if I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my animal?'

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, 'Okay, why not?'

'You're a Management Consultant', says Albert.

'Wow! That's correct,' says the yuppie, 'but how did you guess that?'

'No guessing required.' answered the old shepherd.

'You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used god knows how much technology to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you still don't know a thing about sheep.

Now give me back my dog.'

Charlie and I, Hells Angels and Free Milk

Secret Confessions?

In the 1960s my friend Charlie and I lived and played in Bungay.

One Hot Summer, Bungay was invaded by a sect of Hells Angels, loads of them, great big hairy guys on roaring loud motorbikes. They toured up and down the streets, some set up camp at the castle hills.






















They stayed for a couple of days, but nobody dared to ask them to leave, not even the local police . . . all both of them . . . would not try to persuade them to leave! No, not even an offer to go to Beccles, as Beccles had a Woolworths, would not have enticed these Angels from Hell to leave Bungay Town.

We were very young, and easily influenced, and thought these guys were great, they looked filthy, obviously didn’t need to wash, and seemed to be able to do whatever they liked . . . just like extra big kids really!






















There were all sorts of rumours and stories of what they were up to, and who they upset in the town, and the one we heard was that they helped themselves to all the milk bottles from off the door steps in the town. Quite an outrage!















. . . Only thing was, we knew two other, much smaller Angels, who took advantage of this situation, and who also enjoyed a bottle of FREE MILK that morning!

Childhood Fun - Then and Now!

Where has the time gone this year? It seems such a short while since we were trying to decide what to give everyone for Christmas and now already it is only a few weeks to the summer solstice and the longest day. There are probably lots of children still getting fun and pleasure from the gifts they received and many more considering what they are going to ask for when Yuletide comes round again.

Each year it seems that, except for the very young, the demand for traditional toys and games gets less while more and more children state a preference for technical gadgets. These are usually associated with mobile phones or pop music and games linked to a computer or television.

There are those who will still go for a bicycle or some sort of trendy gear but it has to be the right make, size and colour or it will not be appreciated. No doubt the media will advise us all in very good time exactly what they should ask for. Just as they do every autumn!

Did You Know?

In every town there used to be an abundance of shops full of many different toys for every age group all the year round. Over recent years Society and our lifestyle has changed so much there is no longer a demand for them. Could this be an indication that our children are growing up too quickly? If so, are they missing those happy go lucky days of childhood that always remain firmly planted in the minds of all adults.

Going way back before the First World War babies were dressed in long clothes until they were about eighteen months old with only their faces and hands visible. This must have been a restriction to even the most forward and energetic of them. Not to mention the discomfort when the weather was warm. They had rattles and small painted wooden objects on elastic stretched across their pram or cot so they could watch them dancing about.

There were no plastic toys in those days everything had to be made from wood, rubber or some kind of cloth. Porcelain was used for the arms, legs and heads of the more expensive dolls and puppets. The nearest thing they had to plastic was celluloid. It was used for things like the hand held windmills that were always prominent at the seaside. Books were very popular with children of all ages. Starting with the simplest to help them learn to read they soon progressed to the traditional Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Stories.

In those early days it was the parents, most often the mother, who taught their children to read, write, add up and learn their multiplication tables. By the time they were five and started school most of them knew their alphabet and had mastered the basics of the three R’s.

Although everyone wanted their child to be an Academic it was generally accepted that those years spent in infant classes laid the foundation that was built on when serious teaching started after they were about twelve. That gave them ample time to have fun mixing with others and finding out for themselves what rewards life offered in exchange for the effort they were prepared to put in. With parental guidance they learned from experience.

All through their early years children not only had fun with their toys, they also learned a lot from them. Railway, farmyard and meccano sets etc. for the boys and dolls, prams, doll’s houses, skipping ropes etc. for the girls. They were all educational.

When family budgets didn’t stretch to shop prices, parents often turned their hands to making such things as knitted cuddly toys, a wooden horse or train on wheels that could be pulled along or even a junior wheelbarrow so father could be helped on the allotment.

When boys reached their early teens they often went to the local tradesmen for empty wooden boxes, especially tea chests that were made of ply wood. They would then scour the local dumps for old prams and pushchairs to find a decent set of wheels. When they had sufficient material all they needed was the use of their father’s tools before they could settle down to the task of building a go-cart.

The finished model was steered by a rope attached to the front axle and propelled by a companion pushing from the back. Some of the better constructed models were fitted with a brake which was no more than a piece of wood shaped and hinged with a single nail or screw, to put pressure on front of the tyre of one of the wheels. It was necessary to have some such control when travelling down a steep hill and the cart went too fast for the boy behind to keep up.

Unfortunately, if it was applied too hard it often broke off where it was hinged or all the pressure being put on one wheel caused the cart to veer to one side and tip over. However, that was all part of the fun and many happy hours were passed racing home made carts. It made a change from playing the usual games or just kicking a ball around.

Nowadays, at a very early age, many youngsters are able to recognise and use a computer keyboard as well as text a friend on their mobile. As they grow older there is less need for them to go out and meet people, they can sit on the bed in their room and chat to their friends on their mobile or laptop.

Over recent years, our children have been subjected to criticism from many quarters and with expectations continuing to rise the pressure on them gets more and more. Would they have the same attitude and act in the way they do if fifty years ago, when our Educational System was changed, it had been totally agreed on, implemented and not repeatedly interfered with?

Why is it assumed that every child wants to attain a degree in a specialist profession. Do the people responsible for our youngsters not realise that every one is an individual with different values?

They all have their own aspirations and there will always be those who would rather do a job they don’t have to think about too much even if it does dirty their hands. Why should they be expected to cooperate if they are being driven down a path they find difficult and do not wish to follow.

Such a system can only cause discontent that might also upset those who would otherwise have been quite happy with the opportunity they were given.

Get Out of Jail Card - Alerter

Alerter

All you ever wanted to know about
being a retained FireFighter in Suffolk

Get out of jail card...

I've hunted high and low for this video and I've come up trumps!

Any retained firefighters needing to find an excuse for not doing the DIY, not cutting the grass, not washing up or, indeed, any other job your better half has lined up for you - play this video and make sure the volume is turned up. Then find your shoes and head for the door.

Note: Make sure your alerter is actually near to the computer before attempting this bit of skullduggery. Most other half's are adept at spotting the wool being pulled over their eyes!

And for anyone who has not experienced the sound of an alerter at full tilt - just sit back, turn the sound up and imagine this going off at 3am...

Enjoy...

How green is your holiday?

How green is your holiday?

Environmental fashion is all the rage, but with so many holiday companies seeking to ride on the back of the green bandwagon, there is a danger of genuine green holidays being overlooked. Bucking the trend, original green companies, such as Suffolk camping and cycling specialist Go Camping UK claim to offer a genuine environmentally friendly holiday by blending their holiday activities peacefully and harmoniously into the natural environment.

Whilst many companies are actively promoting themselves as environmentally friendly, questions remain whether this is little more than effective marketing by jumping on the latest tourism trend. Such is the heightened state of consumer awareness that companies are increasingly spending time attempting to win ‘green’ accreditation by means of ‘carbon offsetting’, ‘reducing their carbon footprint’ and ‘recycling’. While these may be noble pursuits, they are merely methods of reducing the environmental impact of a business which acknowledges it has an environmental impact.

Jet setting, driving and developing the landscape for tourist development is not inherently a green activity. The holiday companies that endorse green compensation schemes may indeed be reducing their environmental impact but they are not intrinsically ‘green holidays’.

Ian Peet, director of camping and cycling specialist Go Camping UK, says, “A genuinely green holiday is something that is achieved not by trying to be green, but by utilizing the environment and its natural attraction. Our camping and cycling holidays are a quiet and efficient way to tour an area unobtrusively. Customers appreciate what the natural environment has to offer, so rather than change the local environment we use it as a showcase for the flora, fauna and sounds of the countryside.

What better way to pass the summer days than by cycling through peaceful countryside, watching and listening to the wildlife that flourishes in the local nature reserves. People enjoy the quiet life of the Suffolk countryside, sampling the excellent local produce, the quaint pubs and the quirky individual shops found away from the bigger towns; not to mention that most people like the idea of sitting outside a tent, passing time and watching the sun go down. It’s very informal and relaxed.”

For the environmentally conscious consumer it is worth remembering that the green movement was born out of the need to preserve our natural resources and that the damage limitation policies offered under the green label of modern marketing, simply addresses the negative impact that company has on its local environment in the first place.

Go Camping UK offers 7 night, weekend and midweek camping and cycling tours along the Suffolk Coast, with package deals for families and groups. For less able cyclists and younger families there are also single site camping holidays where you can choose to cycle as little or as much as you like.

Spotting a Little Tern in East Anglia - Waveney Wildlife

Little Tern
Sterna albifrons

This small chattering bird puts on one of the best displays in British skies, an imposing aerial courtship dance that begins when the male calls, carrying a fish to attract a mate. The female responds by chasing him to dizzy heights, before he outwits her by descending at speed with wings held out in a "V" shape.

Little terns can be seen in the UK from April to September, but as they only number about 5,000 they are a difficult bird to spot.

The little tern is grey and white with a short tail and yellow legs, a yellow bill with a black tip, and a white forehead (which distinguishes it from other types of tern). It is fast in flight and has a frantic, jerky wing action.

Where they live
Unfortunately for the little tern, its nesting sites are very popular with humans too, as they favour shallow nests on sand and shingle beaches. The UK's largest little tern colonies are found along the south and east coasts of both Scotland and England. They lay their eggs in nests on the ground and can be quite defensive when breeding.

How to spot them
Good spots for seeing the little tern include Blakeney Point and Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, Minsmere in Suffolk and Langstone harbour in Hampshire. Watch out for a hovering bird that plunges head first into the water to catch fish. These noisy birds make a high-pitched chattering sound

New team on Track at Bure Valley Railway

The Bure Valley Railway has recruited a new team member to raise the awareness of the “Broadland Steam and Diesel” experience at Aylsham.

Annette Bowler is the new Marketing Officer leading the drive to raise the profile to local, national, consumer and the trade market. She has acquired many years of experience in the Tourism industry including her work with Norfolk Tourism and her present role of Norfolk National Gardens Scheme press officer.

Annette said “I am delighted to have this exciting opportunity of marketing the Bure Valley Railway. New events and themes are being planned for the fifteen inch narrow gauge line to help raise its awareness. Few people know that the railway is supported by the 'The Friends' a volunteer organisation who are very hands on in helping, although this is rather greasy hands on most occasions”.

left to right: Annette Bowler and Bure Valley Railway driver Jeffrey Riley

The Bure Valley Railway Norfolk's longest fifteen inch gauge line runs between the ancient market town of Aylsham and Wroxham, the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' with country stations serving the villages of Brampton, Buxton and Coltishall. The eighteen mile round trip runs through the picturesque Bure valley countryside following the meandering river through meadowland and ancient pasture stopping occasionally at small country villages.

The Aylsham station hosts a souvenir shop with steam memorabilia to purchase that special gift. A visit to the Whistlestop restaurant will provide a variety of light snacks or full lunches, with small portions for children

Local Mills - Hempnall Mill Road Towermill

c. 1880

Hempnall Mill Road Towermill

Hempnall Mill Rd towermill was a 4 storey towermill that was built in 1814 in an adjacent field to the existing postmill and eventually took over the whole business. The mill was built by James Carver under a 150 year lease dated 26th May 1814 granted to him by The Trustees of the Inhabitants for the time being of the Town of Hempnall at a ground rent of £3 per annum.

He was granted the land to build One brick Tower Wind Mill of a proper and sufficient size and dimension ... with all its requisite going gears and appurtenances fit for grinding corn and grain. He was also to ensure the mill was properly maintained. At the end of the lease, the owner was to take the mill down and remove it in order to leave the land in a fit state for cultivation.

Arthur Gervis Bristow and son Arthur Richard Bristow c.1937

The mill was originally designed to draw trefoil seeds as well as grind wheat to flour. The seeds stones were almost certainly taken from the postmill and installed into the more powerful towermill. However, by 1833 the pair of seed stones had been replaced by a second pair of Fench burr stones.

The 25 foot tower with 2ft 3in thick walls, had two doors on the ground floor and held a boat shaped cap with a petticoat and a 6 bladed, left handed fan. The mill was powered by four double shuttered sails, the outer pair having 8 bays of 3 shutters and the inner pair having 7 bays of 3 shutters and 1 bay of 2 shutters. The sails were struck by rack & pinion via a chain pole. drove a pair of seed stones and a pair of French burr stones. A flour mill and jumper were also in use.

James Carver snr mortgaged the leasehold mill complex and land to Thomas White, a local farmer from Shotesham for £200. In December 1828 they both assigned equal shares of the remainder of the lease to James Carver's other son, Thomas Carver and a David Irwin, both men being printers working in Norwich. They in turn took out a mortgage from Robert Youngs of Lakenham for £200 in January 1829.

29th August 1972

On 9th December 1978, the Hempnall Mill Centre for Day Care held an informal open day prior to opening on 12th December that year. The Centre was the result of a joint project between the Norfolk Social Services Department and the Trustees of the 400 year old Hempnall Town Estate Poor Charity and was designed by Norfolk's assistant architect. The mill tower was converted to form a cosy sitting room.
